I've done the research on this b/c it is the final destination for my SC. To buy everything you need brand new...around 10k (That gets you everything from the radiator to the tailshaft.). Did some auction searching and you can get a running, rearended, bent frame lightning for about the same (which would provide you with everything to include the K frame. It would fit under a 3" cowl and would requre a good bit of modification if not complete repacement of the k frame. I haven't gotten into the front suspension aspect of it yet. I am still working on fabing my custom hood. It's doable, expensive but doable. Having your father in law own a paint and body shop dosen't hurt either.
